The Essentials of Rebirth in the Pure Land (Ojōyōshū)
The image shows two pages from a book titled "The Essentials of Rebirth in the Pure Land (Ojōyōshū)" by an unknown artist. The left page has a drawing of a large figure with a sword and a pot in its hand, and two smaller human-like figures. The large figure appears to be cutting the head off one of the smaller figures with the sword. The smaller figure that is being beheaded is sitting on a rocky surface. The other smaller figure is sitting on the left. There are wavy lines at the bottom of the page, possibly indicating water. The right page contains dense rows of Japanese text written in black ink. A ruler or measuring device is visible along the bottom edge of the image. The background behind the book pages is black.
